Weichai's Remanufacturing Exploration Road: Promoting Retailing by Group Users

With the introduction or formulation of the national "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" "Outline", "Opinions on advancing the development of remanufacturing industries" and "Energy-saving and environmental protection industry development plan", the state policy has increased the support for remanufacturing, and also gave Manufacturing companies provide fertile growing soil. In spite of this, in the remanufacturing industry, it is still faced with the problem of complex raw material recycling and misunderstanding of users. China Truck Network met with Li Feng, General Manager of Weichai Power (Weifang) Remanufacturing Co., Ltd. during the Shanghai Auto Show. Mr. Li told the reporter that since the establishment of Weichai Remanufacturing Company in 2008, we have faced many difficulties, but Weichai has remanufactured. Still an effective way has been explored in the recycling of raw materials.

Weichai Remanufacturing Recycling: A Double Problem of Cognition and Detection

Li Feng told reporters that during the year when Weichai Remanufacturing Co., Ltd. was put into operation in 2010, the processing line and assembly line were put into production. It is also faced with the problem of recovery difficulties:

First, the user does not have high awareness of recycling engines

When the engines recovered by maintenance stations in Weichai are reported to the factory, they often find that the engine does not meet the remanufacturing standards and that the engine that is facing recycling cannot be used. After investigation, it is found that users generally believe that only if the engine is damaged badly or if it takes a long time to be willing Selling the engine to a service station, Li Feng said that this is actually unscientific. When the engine is used for too long or the damage is too serious, the maintenance cost is also rising with the user, and the operating efficiency is also reduced, which is not conducive to the driver. Normal transportation.

Second, the service station has different standards for detecting remanufacturing standards

Li Feng also mentioned that due to the relative strictness and complexity of testing whether the engine meets the requirements for remanufacturing production, it is still difficult for each maintenance station of Weichai to master this standard, and this also leads to the control of the recovery of the engine on the maintenance station. Lax, lack of a correct judgment of the standard, but also make some service station personnel in the process of communicating with the user, they do not understand what kind of engine can be recycled.

Weichai Remanufacturing Exploration Road: Train and Guide Peers and Walk

In response to these problems, Weichai Remanufacturing Co., Ltd. has formulated guidelines and policies in a timely manner and summarized lessons learned. Li Feng mentioned that in the 36 service centers and 3800 service stations across Weichai nationwide, the remanufacturing company organized special training work, and made easy-to-operate standards for recovering engine standards, such as the cylinder block and cylinder head of the engine. All of them have done different testing standards to facilitate the testing of service stations around the country. At the same time taking into account the huge network of Weichai services, they also focused on developing more than 500 service stations in different parts of the country to carry out special training to make them more detailed More accurate, and there are about 30 repair stations in the country that have the same testing capabilities as remanufacturers. In this way, the currently recovered engine meets the requirements for remanufacturing significantly.

It is relatively easy for companies to improve the appraisal capabilities of maintenance personnel throughout the company. How can we allow users to voluntarily sell the engine to the maintenance station? Weichai Remanufacturing Co., Ltd. has also found a valid after different attempts. Ways - to promote retail customers with group users.

Shandong Jinan Iron & Steel has been cooperating with Weichai Remanufacturing Co., Ltd. since 2009 to sell the Group's engines that used the overhaul period to Weichai. After the remanufacturing of Weichai, Jigang once again purchased remanufactured engines. Through more than one year of use, Jinan Steel Corporation deeply recognized the cooperation model with Weichai's remanufactured engines. The reason is explained by Li Feng. “On the one hand, large-scale group vehicles such as Jinan Iron & Steel have a high attendance rate and a high level of wear and tear. Vehicles will inevitably face maintenance problems in one or two years or so. The maintenance mileage is also reached at this time. The cost of maintenance will increase because of free maintenance services. On the other hand, if the time and cost of wasting a vehicle is huge, companies would rather purchase a new car to enjoy the free maintenance period and reduce the failure rate again."

The elimination of vehicles that use time to overhaul, the general engine parts are no problem, some of the parts of the loss, more or less will affect fuel consumption, etc., then you can sell the engine to Weichai, through the replacement of remanufactured engine to reduce the purchase Cost, and can also enjoy the free maintenance of the new machine and better fuel quality, so Jigang is very willing to recycle the engine to Weichai, Weichai also solved the problem of recovery difficult.

Li Feng said that the cooperation model with Jinan Steel has been proved to be effective, and he hopes to promote this cooperation model, and more importantly, through the influence of group users, it will lead local retail investors to form a common idea and consciously recycle the engine. Chai, the problem of immediate raw material recovery will be solved. It is understood that currently the Weichai engine market has reached 2.6 million units, a large part of which has entered the overhaul and scrapping stage. At that time, this part of the engine on the market can also greatly solve the problem of difficult recovery of Weichai Remanufacturing Company.

Weichai’s road to discovery has also been effective. “In 2010, Weichai Remanufacturing Co., Ltd. sold a total of more than 3,100 remanufactured engines and achieved the company’s expected goals. From January to March 2011, the company sold more than 1,600 units. The engine was built.” Mr. Li said confidently to reporters, “We don’t sell it now.”

As an environmentally friendly, low-carbon engine company, Weichai Remanufacturing will continue to explore and advance on the road to development, and has proposed a grand plan to achieve an annual output of 100,000 remanufactured engines by 2020.
